2. Banitsa (Баница): A staple in Bulgarian cuisine, banitsa is a filled pastry traditionally made with a mixture of fresh and dried herbs, cheese, and butter wrapped in layers of thin dough. Often served warm as a breakfast or brunch item, it may also be enjoyed at any time of day accompanied by a side of yogurt, fruits, or a spoonful of sweetened compote.
3. Moussaka (Мусака): This hearty and comforting Greek-inspired dish consists of layers of eggplant or potato, ground meat (usually beef or lamb), and a rich béchamel sauce flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, and other warm spices.
